Visit San Gimignano’s Civic Museums and Torre Grossa
San Gimignano, Italy
San Gimignano’s Civic Museums turn the famous skyline into a more substantial encounter with the town. Frescoed rooms in the Palazzo Comunale and the picture gallery reveal civic ambition and artistic connections, while the climb up Torre Grossa places rooftops and surrounding countryside in perspective. Choose to spend time with the paintings before heading upwards. The combination helps explain the town as a historic community, rather than simply a collection of towers assembled for photographs.
